I know some of you have seen this already, but this is for those that havent...a letter I received yesterday (and lots others did as well):-

You've been very kind and have helped me run some fabulous competitions and give away some great prizes on my website at [domain name], and I hope that next year will be as good as this year.

I was wondering, if I could be very cheeky, and see if you had any little things lying around that may be suitable for my two young children, who are very much looking forward to Christmas.

I've attached a picture of them for you.

I thought I'd ask, as you never know.

Strike anyone else as a begging letter. Im not putting his name on here as I dont want to give him traffic for his site but if you want to know please EMAIL me.

And then another email today denying he sent that email, send a colleague did without his permission. Likely story, particularly as similar ones were sent out last week to some of our sponsors!

Sounds well cheeky to me - I am intrigued to know who it is though as I have been getting some emails requesting prizes for a particular website using a couple of domain names that is essentially for the same place!

? So do people who do this actually get items or is it a scam for email address colection?
